The Banshee Bride

Mark L'Estrange

Sinopsis

If you hear her cry, you’re next to die.
 
Everyone who lives on the remote island of Manus off the west coast of Ireland has heard the tale of Molly McShane: a young, tormented girl who threw herself to her death off the Westside Cliffs after witnessing her fiancé being executed on the eve of their wedding, for a crime he did not commit.
 
Since that day, the townsfolk know to lock their doors at night and say their prayers in earnest for fear that the Banshee Bride will appear and drag their souls to Hell. Victims of the apparition are found the following day, with their faces stretched into a mask of pure terror.
 
No one knows how the Banshee Bride is summoned, but one thing they do know... once she has been called, she cannot return to hell without a soul.

The Picture in the House

H. P. Lovecraft

"The Picture in the House" is a short story written by H.P. Lovecraft. It was written on December 12, 1920, and first published in the July issue of The National Amateur—which was published in the summer of 1921.While riding on his bicycle in the Miskatonic Valley of rural New England, a genealogist seeks shelter from an approaching storm in an apparently abandoned house, only to find that it is occupied by a "loathsome old, white-bearded, and ragged man," speaking in "an extreme form of Yankee dialect...thought long extinct." The narrator notices that the house is full of antique books, exotic artifacts, and furniture predating the American Revolution. The old man is apparently harmless and ignorant, but shows a disquieting fascination for an engraving in a rare old book, Regnum Congo, and admits to the narrator that it made him hunger for "victuals I couldn't raise nor buy"- presumably human flesh. It is suggested that the old man in the house was murdering men who stumbled upon the shack to satisfy his "craving", and that the old man has extended his life preternaturally through cannibalism. The narrator realizes the old man has been alive for over a century. The old man denies that he ever acted on his desire, but then a red drop of blood falls from the ceiling, clearly coming from the floor above, and splashes a page in the book. The narrator then looks up to see a spreading red stain on the ceiling; this belies the old man's statement. At that moment, a bolt of lightning destroys the house, bringing oblivion to the narrator.

Dogman Collection Two - 10 More...

Nathan Tarantla

Dogman is the mysterious monster that haunts the woods of Michigan. Part man, part dog, part what? What is dogman? No one knows, but that doesn't stop garbage cans from being raided at night, pets vanishing in certain neighborhoods, and so-called dog attacks on pedestrians in lonely places. Where does it come from? What does it want? This is the second book in my series on Dogman horror. Due to requests, from individuals concerned with profanity, I've bleeped the few bad words that appear in order to make these tales more accessible to a younger audience.
